I hope your answer is yes! My family and I moved from Ohio back to our home state, Texas, this month and I am just now getting to a point where I can tend to my online world! I feel pretty confident at this point there will be no more skipped issues - but if there is it will only be a week's issue and not the whole month! Best of health! Laura _______________________________________________________ This Week's NUTRITION TIPS: _______________________________________________________ QUICK GUIDE TO FOOD LABELS Follow the three steps below to select the best foods for you and your family. Note how comparing labels for milk (below 3 steps) can have a big impact on the amount of saturated fat you consume - especially if you multiply by the number of days in a year. The first step covers calorie awareness. How does this product fit into your daily calorie budget? Most people need around 2,000 calories a day - calculate yours at www. mypyramid.gov. The second step covers the middle of the label, which are items to keep low. You will avoid getting too much fat, saturated fat, trans fat and sodium if you read labels. The third step covers fiber and nutrient density. You are going to get enough fiber and nutrients if you eat plenty of fruits, vegetables, legumes and whole grains. >> Three Easy Steps for Label Reading: 1. Look at serving size, servings per container and calories- Eating too many calories per day is linked to people being overweight, obese and developing certain chronic diseases. 2. Limit fat, saturated fat, trans fat, cholesterol and sodium - Eating too much fat, saturated fat, trans fat, cholesterol or sodium may increase your risk for certain chronic disease. Shoot for 5% or less of the daily value. 3. Get enough fiber and important nutrients - Eating enough fiber and nutrients can improve your health and help reduce your risk of some diseases.

It gets your heart pumping faster, makes you sweat and quickens your breath. When you raise your heart rate your body begins to burn stored carbohydrates and fatty acids for energy. Aerobic activity is very effective in controlling your weight and is an ideal way to burn calories. Research shows that a regular aerobic routine, combined with healthy eating habits is the best way to maintain a healthy body. Did you know that the heart is a muscle? That means you can make your heart stronger and more efficient. A regular aerobic routine will give your heart the kind of workout that will help it do a better job of delivering oxygen to all your organs. Exercise doesn't have to be expensive to be effective. Any activity that raises the heart rate and is maintained for at least 20 minutes is considered aerobic. It can be different types of exercise like jogging, biking, rowing, swimming, dancing or even brisk walking. The best workout routine is one that you enjoy doing because you will continue to do something you enjoy. If you vary the different types of exercise it will help keep it fun and exciting. For the best results, do some type of aerobic activity at least 3 to 4 times a week. Aerobic exercise helps burn fat calories, increases your metabolism and if done on an empty stomach forces your body to recruit energy from stored fat cells. When you have finished your workout routine your metabolism will remain elevated for about 30 minutes. That means you continue to burn calories after you finish exercising. If your goal is to control your weight, exercise your heart, strengthen your muscles or just feel healthier, a low-fat diet and regular aerobic activity will help you achieve and maintain a well toned and fit body. When you exercise the brain releases endorphins that put you in a better mood, make you feel happy and isn't that what life is all about?
